ACT I
Overture
Tripping hither, tripping thither
Ivocation ("Iolanthe! From thy dark exile..")
Good-morrow, good mother
Fare thee well, attractive stranger
Good-morrow, good lover
None shall part us
Entrance & March of Peers
The law is the true embodiment
My Well-loved lord and guardian dear
Nay, tempt me not
Spurn not the nobly born
My Lords! it may not be!
When I went to the Bar as a very young man

FINALE, ACT I
When darkly looms the day
Oh shameless one, tremble
For riches and rank I do not long
Can I inactive see my fortunes fade?
Go away, madam
Oh! Chancelor unwary
Henceforth, Strephon, cast away
With Strephon for your foe, no doubt

ACT II
When all night long
Strephon's a member of Parliament!
When Britain really rul'd the waves
In vain to us you plead
Oh, foolish fay
Tho' p'raps I may incur your blame
Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest
If you go in
If we're weak enough to tarry
My Lord, a suppliant at your feet I kneel
It may not be
Finale
